1st class blues

Classes begin tomorrow, as much as I look forward to attending it. I dread it as well. Why do I dread it? Well, we got a "welcome" mail from the Strategy professor. He had sent out the course outline and "as well as" our case study assignment for the 1st class. The case needs to be analysed based on 2 chapters from the prescribed text book.

I read the cases yesterday, read them like a novel. I understood what was going on and would be able to figure out what is written where. I am not sure I would be able to analyse the specifics, guess I don't even know what is expected of the exercise. The text book seems quite interesting, it tells you the meaning behind about a bunch of boards in your company that you usually is used as a "landmark" pointers. "Goto the printer next to the mission statement board" or "Keep going straight till you see a board with some corporate yada yada written on it and turn left. That is the shortest way to the loo"

I hope the "corporate BS" as many of us affectionately refer to things make sense and let us see what is in store in the 1st class.
